Chapter 742: Chapter 344: Boat’s Reverse Launch, Riven’s Charisma

”How was your morning, Lin?” She took a bite of her sandwich and asked curiously, ”What do you think of my dad’s teaching style? Aren’t you tempted to kick him off the boat?”

This bold joke made Mike look at her with a mix of amusement and exasperation.

”No,” Lin Yu’an replied earnestly, ”Captain Mike’s teaching method is very efficient and full of practical experience.”

”Every instruction has a clear purpose and warning, allowing muscles to form memory at the quickest speed.”

”Did you hear that?” Mike said proudly to his daughter, ”That’s professionalism.”

”Yes, yes, you’re the most professional,” Riven shrugged indifferently, then turned her gaze back to Lin Yu’an, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

”And you? Lin. What I’m more curious about is you. I admit, when I asked you to tie knots with one hand, at first, it was just to intimidate you,”

She candidly admitted her intention, ”but I didn’t expect you to actually do it and even optimize it. You must have your unique way of learning, right?”

This question was also what millions of viewers in the livestream room wanted to know the most.

Lin Yu’an put down his sandwich, met her gaze, and said calmly:

”I am used to building models in my mind. Any complex action, in my view, is composed of basic geometric and physical logic.”

”Once you understand the underlying logic, finding the optimal path is just a matter of calculation.”

He couldn’t mention his Golden Finger, so he used a method that sounded like a scientific methodology to explain.

This rather Versailles explanation instantly blew up the comments section.

[??? What did I just hear? A calculation problem? Tying a knot is a calculation problem?]

[Translation of what God Lin said: As long as you have hands, that’s enough.]

[Ver-sailles! Pure Versailles! But why do I feel I’m on board with this!]

Riven fell silent; having grown up at sea, she learned sailing more by intuition and muscle memory.

It was the first time she heard someone use an engineer’s mindset to interpret a sport.

Building models in the mind? Optimal path? Calculation problem? This sounded nothing like learning sailing, more like solving a complex math problem.

”Building a model...” she murmured, repeating the term, her blue eyes filled with novelty, ”That must be a completely different world from ours.”

”It’s just different paths to the same destination,” Lin Yu’an said, ”You engrave experience into your bodies through thousands of practices, forming intuition.”

”I’m just using another way, simulating those thousands of practices in my mind first.”

The two of them gazed at each other for more than ten seconds, this conversation adding a layer of appreciation for different learning styles to their relationship, beyond just coach and trainee.

[Anzi, hold yourself together! You’re a married man with kids!]

[Hey, upstairs, don’t speak nonsense! Brother Lin is a family man! This is pure teacher-student affection!]

[What teacher-student affection, I see sparks! Sparks of collision!]

[Isn’t it normal for the strong to be attracted to each other? You people have filthy minds!]

[Stop arguing, everyone, can’t you just watch the livestream quietly? I just want to see God Lin continue to show off...]

Captain Mike listened silently at the side, watching the two equally outstanding young people, a gratifying smile in his eyes.

Although he didn’t quite understand those terms like models and calculations, he knew this young man was rapidly conquering the sport in a way he couldn’t comprehend but was immensely powerful.

And his daughter seemed to have met someone for the first time who could keep up with her pace.

After lunch, the afternoon session officially began — engine practice.

Mike started the engine while seriously addressing Lin Yu’an and the observing Riven, ”Many people look down on the engine, thinking that sailing should purely rely on the wind.”

”That’s foolish romanticism. In crowded harbors, during windless weather or emergencies, this engine is your god! You must understand it well enough.”

He explained the starting procedure, warm-up time, and cooling water discharge checks in detail, then handed the wheel to Lin Yu’an.

”Now, take it out. Remember, a boat doesn’t have brakes; it only has inertia. Moreover, it has ’rudder effect’ delay.”

”When you steer, it takes a second or two to see the effect. You must learn to anticipate, not react.”

Lin Yu’an grasped the wheel, feeling the engine’s vibrations transmitted through the hull to his palms. He slowly pushed the throttle, and the boat began to leave the dock.

Riven didn’t leave but sat with keen interest in the observer’s seat next to the helm, a position where she could clearly see every action and subtle expression of Lin Yu’an.

Under Mike’s command, Lin Yu’an started practicing forward, backward, and S-shaped buoy turns.

After the morning’s shock, Mike was somewhat desensitized to Lin Yu’an’s rapid adaptation.

Lin Yu’an’s strong sense of space and control ability played its role once again, and after just a few practices, he could make quite precise maneuvers with the 24-foot sailboat in the narrow waterway.

”Very good,” Mike was pleased, deciding to skip some basic content and increase the difficulty.

”Now, let’s try something interesting. Do you see those two buoys up ahead?”

”Sail the boat over, and between them, perform a 360-degree turn on the spot, without the bow or stern touching the buoys.”

This was a move that truly tested skill, requiring precise coordination of throttle, rudder angle, and the boat’s inertia.
